What it solves

ALTA provides an evidence-based research system for public markets that prevents the common pitfalls of LLM-driven trading, such as "hallucinated" alpha or over-reliance on a single model's output. It solves the problem of maintaining rigorous research discipline—including evidence lineage, independent debate, and risk auditing—while leveraging the autonomous search and synthesis capabilities of LLMs.

How it works

ALTA implements a multi-agent "Opportunity OS" where specialized roles handle different stages of a trade's lifecycle. The process follows a strict pipeline:

1. Scouts search for market signals and clues.
2. Foundry normalizes and freezes the evidence into a falsifiable opportunity.
3. Underwriters create independent bull, bear, and catalyst cases to avoid consensus bias.
4. Research Director ranks opportunities based on urgency and portfolio overlap.
5. Expression Desk determines the best financial instrument (stock, ETF, or option) to use.
6. Risk & Audit performs a final check on sizing and concentration.
7. Execution handles the trade via a Shadow ledger (simulation) or a gated Tiger Paper account.

Deterministic code manages the state, permissions, and accounting, ensuring that LLM prose is never treated as the final authority for capital movement.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers and developers interested in autonomous AI agents applied to financial markets, specifically those who want to test hypotheses in a controlled, research-only environment without risking real capital.

Highlights

• Multi-Agent Specialization: Uses distinct roles (Scouts, Underwriters, etc.) to ensure a separation of concerns and prevent self-approval of trades.
• Evidence-First Approach: Every claim must maintain source and observation lineage to ensure research is testable and reproducible.
• Resilience by Design: Built for long-horizon continuity with durable checkpoints and recovery mechanisms to handle provider timeouts or system crashes.
• Strict Authority Boundaries: No live trading mode exists; execution is limited to local simulation or authorized paper trading accounts.
• Bilingual Operator Console: A React-based dashboard for monitoring agent activity, decision history, and system health in English and Chinese.
